Already legendary as the best [team sport] player Starfleet Academy had ever produced, she had already established a name for herself as a coach as well, managing a professional [team sport] team during a sabbatical from Starfleet. |
| − | + | Commander Jansrud convinced Kerani to join the team despite the fact that she'd never really participated in team sports at a high level. (Ishrelia, of course, wound up on the team as well.) Jansrud's mentorship taught Kerani valuable lessons about both sport and leadership - the sort of teamwork necessary in Starfleet... as well as lessons from this unconventional maverick officer about how one sometimes has to bend the rules to succeed. | |
All was going well until one day, when Kerani's mentor approached her about participating in a match-fixing scheme originated by a Ferengi gambling syndicate. If she and Ishrelia, the team's two stars, just "let up" a little in the next match, it could be lucrative for all of them. | All was going well until one day, when Kerani's mentor approached her about participating in a match-fixing scheme originated by a Ferengi gambling syndicate.

Though she didn't want to go against her mentor, and knew that the ensuing scandal would tarnish the reputation of a great sports hero, Kerani nevertheless went to the authorities. The investigation that resulted uncovered even more crimes, implicating several powerful Federation and Starfleet officials. During that trying time, to Kerani's surprise, Ishrelia (who Kerani thought of as somewhat unscrupulous and prone to doing anything to gain an advantage) had her teammate's back all the way. | Though she didn't want to go against her mentor, and knew that the ensuing scandal would tarnish the reputation of a great sports hero, Kerani nevertheless went to the authorities.

Ishrelia confuses the hell out of Kerani, and their relationship seems to defy analysis. They have nothing in common, right? Besides that intense physical attraction? (And what was up with THAT, Kerani asked herself. For one thing, she still thought of herself as straight, and had never been physically attracted to any other girl....) | Ishrelia confuses the hell out of Kerani, and their relationship seems to defy analysis.

Kerani's family background has bits from just about every corner of the human gene pool, but if any part of that is dominant, it would be the medium-brown skin color and black hair and facial features of her South Asian heritage, from which her first name also is derived. | Kerani's family background has bits from just about every corner of the human gene pool, but if any part of that is dominant, it would be the medium-brown skin color and black hair and facial features of her South Asian heritage, from which her first name also is derived. | ||
